Founded by freed American slaves in 1847, this country's culture and government are influenced heavily by the United States. It modeled its founding document after the U.S. constitution, and it practices some of America’s most iconic cultural traditions, not the least of which is Thanksgiving. In this country, Thanksgiving typically involves a church service, after which harvest crops are auctioned off. Families then return home to feast, much like in America. There are also some minor differences between Thanksgiving in Liberia and the United States. While the American holiday is held on the last Thursday in November, this country's Thanksgiving is held on the first Thursday in November. More importantly perhaps are the culinary differences. Because turkeys and pumpkins are hard to come by in Liberia, roast chicken and mashed cassavas usually comprise a traditional Thanksgiving meal in the West African nation.
